This Tournament has been created to showcase the finest warriors and fighters the Galaxy has to offer, in a unique virtual reality experience modeled after the ancient colosseums of Rattatak. Warriors from across the galaxy will meet head to head in pitched battles in the sacred sands as they fight for Glory, Money, and Prestige!

With numerous prizes in store for those who participate, the Tournament of Champions hopes to crown a Galactic Champion, as well as reward those who embrace the struggle and climb to the top of the rankings!

Particpants may use any combination of three weapons/items that they so desire, with the only pre-banned weaponry residing in the form of the shattergun, lightsaber, and other such 'lightweapons'. All types of Blasters and melee weapons are allowed, though subject to the judges decision as to fair use.

Weapons and armor used will be non-unique in make up, with no imbued powers or special bonuses associated with their use. Ancient Sith Weapons/Artifacts with great power are disallowed. Beskar, Cortosis, Ultrachrome, Phrik and other such special armor materials will be treated as normal durasteel for the duration of the match, unless otherwise noted. [ex. Ultrachrome bracers, etc] For those versed in the Force and its mysteries, a limit of the use of six powers has been constituted, with a maximum rank of Intermediate.

It should be noted, that this maximum rank of Intermediate only applies to powers that are ranked higher than such for a particpant. If a Padawan or Apprentice chooses to enter, the powers are not automatically 'upgraded' to Intermediate level, and must be used at actual level. Non Force Users are allowed the use of another weapon to compensate their lack of the Force.

The setting for this grand tournament will be a digital recreation of the infamous Cauldren, the Grand Colosseum made famous by the brutal Rattatakan Death Games. This digital colosseum is as realsitic as possible, with a sand floor, and a ringed spectators stands. Feel free to cause wanton destruction at your leisure, as all digital damage will be repaired before the next scheduled match.

These battles are to be fought in a gladiatorial style, meaning that these battles will predominantly be fought one on one, however paired match ups and large scale battle royale type matches may or may not be included depending on external circumstances. Two fighters will enter, one fighter will leave; after the two combatants battle until the point of death, or continued battle becomes impossible.

Master of the Arena, Darth Crucious, will preside over the battles as judge and host of the ceremonies, watching each battle to ensure that no forms of cheating or match manipulation is made to disrupt the ceremonies. At the end of each battle, a score will be rewarded based on the combatants performance, which will go towards each combatant's over all rankings. Simply losing will not constitute in outright elimination, as the final scores will have the ultimate say in the final outcome of the tournament.

Sign ups are to be conducted in this thread using the template below, any questions can be PM'd to this account for an answer ASAP. With that in mind, let the games begin! And most importantly of all, HAVE FUN!

This Tournament, which will begin next Friday after a one week sign-up period is intended to test the mettle of the top fighters and warriors from across the galaxy to determine who is the Galactic Champion. Fabulous prizes await those who place in the top tier, and anyone can join. Restrictions on weapons and force powers have been imposed in order to level the playing field for an experience that is competitive for both Force Sensitives and Non Force Sensitives, regardless of rank or level.

While the full list of available prizes will not be displayed at this time, instead released a few at a time as a teaser to entice members to join, a few prizes will be displayed at this time. Bear in mind, that these are only a few of the rewards, their are many choices that will determine just what rewards a given warrior can select when the championship comes to a close...

Grand Champion:

-Choice between a fragment of the two 'legendary Force Crystals', the Heart of the Guardian, or the Mantle of the Force. Obtaining one of these crystals' shards, either for use in a lightsaber or as a focus is restricted to the arena alone. They cannot, I repeat CANNOT be obtained through normal RP.

-One of several custom transports, courier vessels, or fighters designed to be superior to the stock ships available at this time. More information on this later.

-Custom 'Grand Champion' Graphic to be provided by our Wizard Graphics Artist to commemorate your victory as a signature graphic.

Second Place:

-Custom 'Honorable Second Contender' Graphic to be provided by our Wizard Graphics Artist to commemorate your victory as a signature graphic.

Master of the Arena's Note: Ultrachrome plating or constructed armor is not allowed. The ultrachrome equivalent is meant to be used for gauntlets/shin protection, or other special uses that mesh with a particular fighting style.

Now that the sign up period has ended, the battle can begin. With only 6 participants, I'm happy to say that everyone who has entered is going to get at least one prize. So, without further adieu. Let us begin.
